XOG out multiple ideas to change the name

I need to XOG out about 40 ideas to change the name of them. The best way I can think of doing this is xogging out those ideas, change the name and then xog them back in. Any other ideas? Or can I just create a xog file with just the name and ID and XOG it in without overwriting the existing data in PPM?

You can create XOG-script to change the name of 40 ideas. The best option you can use is MAIL MERGE to make the XOG script.

Steps to follow:1. Take the excel export of the mandatory fields initiatorUserName, name, objectID, progress and status (of idea) from database.2. Update the new name of the ideas in the excel export. 3. Using sample write script (find below) and mail merge method in Microsoft word document create the whole XOG-Write script.4. XOG-IN the script using XOG-Client.

I'm assuming you are aware of the mail merge method or let me know if you need any help on this.

Yes I know it is much quicker and easier to do from the list view but I want to learn how to do mail merge so I figured this is a good opportunity to do it. Therefore when I get asked to do something more complex I will have this experience in my back pocket.
